fyi, for hard wood pallets many times the nails don't want to come out of the stringers. So what I do is spray the whole pallet down with water, let sit for about 30 minutes, then disassemble. The water soaks into the nail wholes and helps to lubricate - far fewer broken ends this way
Ty so much this will help me somuch about to do this n put up fence for dogs n use boards to repairs a few places inside trailer and since it's really really old the sheetrock in hall on bottom with sides rubbing so gonna do like a aynes coating from floor up... praying it works thanks
This is hands down the BEST method I have seen on how to dismantle a pallet. Thank you for the time you are going to save me from now on and my back thanks you as well.
This is what I'm gonna say.... 1. Screw the pallet Buster 2. Screw the saw method 3. Screw pry bars and shit like that. You sir have just showed a simple method ( very effective ) at taking pallets apart. And it didn't cost me anything in terms of a stupid tool hanging around after the job is done!! This is hands down the simplest method I have seen. THANK YOU
This video was so helpful. I've been struggling pulling apart pallets... and I'm not that strong. Now, I'll give this a whirl! It's wonderful to see a man take a stand for Christ. Keep up the good work and faith! Subscribed
after screwing up half a pallets worth of wood, I found your video and now.. I'm so mad because it actually worked. My neighbors are probably pretty angry after hearing the sounds of rage outside because of this. Thanks.
Those pallets you used are selected. You should demonstrate with differently made pallets and of different wood. There's a particular reddish looking wood which can even bend nails and the nails are very difficult to remove from it. Twisted nails are also used in some pallets which make it difficult. Some nails are either bent or bent and embedded in the pallets for rigidity and strength.
That is absolute genius!!! Simple and elegant solution instead of all these tools that smash the wood! Wow. So impressed. Just a block of wood and hammer. Happy day!! Now I will give you a tip - use the Air Lock air nail remover gun with a small compressor. The 6 gal Porter Cable pancake compressor at 150 psi will do the job. Just shoot out those nails from the back and its very fast. Forget the claw hammer or crow bar. Thank you for the great tip about tapping the nails off, genius!
Fantastic idea to disassemble the pallets! You were very calm with your demeanor during the presentation. Your reference to the Holy Scriptures, and reminder of the importance of putting our faith in Jesus Christ was heartfelt and sincere.
Thank for that. You can use the rusty nails to make your own wood stain. Put them in vinegar. Allow to sit for a week or so. Then take out a table spoon full and mix with more vinegar test for desired color. You can get really dark stain or really light depending on how light you mix at the end. Happy creating.
Dan, God bless you brother. It’s awesome using simple tools to glorify Him who died for us, 5 loaves and 2 fish. You used them, or better say, you allowed him to use your loaves. You have got the nails out, and our hearts in. Well done!
This is a great method and I will definitely be trying it. The only thing I will double check is to tap out the ends first, then the middle. Am wondering if the last end is then less likely to split.
Awesome ending message. Thumbs up on the tips as well, I havebroken many of pallets out of rushing/frustration and impatience Be patient and build something! God Bless
Awesome help this.Thank you.Ive recently started messing around with pellets and am now making sculptures with them which is very much fun and something I hope to make some money with. The ending touch to your video was the best.😀.God Bless
The only thing I would do different is the short striking timber I'd make long so you can stand while knocking the boards apart, less strain on the knees and back!
Just watched a bunch of videos and your way looks best using gravity to help but also amazed you’re able to step onto pallet and the wood on bottom doesn’t shift for you to fall.
New subscriber…. I’d love to see a video on how you “decide” what project you want to use the pallet wood for (other than the generic “rustic” project). Thanks!
Super cool, I have been watching make stuff from pallets. Your video came up. Gave it a watch. And was Surprised!. that you gave the gospel at the end. As a Christian and a garage warrior. I really liked that. I subscribed to your videos. God bless
I live in Australia and most of the pallets have nails with glue on them,before I start i use a nail punch to drive them in about 1/16” to break the glue then pull apart as you did,
Who would have thought to dismantle upside down but it seems to work great. I only use pallet wood for kindling and a fire pit for the cut off nailed ends with cheap block spacers (sadly no 2 X 4's unfortunately in UK types) different to US pallets which have loads of spare wood.
Really great way of dismantling a pallet… definitely gonna be trying this! Something else I find really useful is one of those cheap mechanics’ magnetic dishes, so you can toss the nails in as you remove them. Especially if working on your driveway or in your garage, you don’t want any risk of nails on the ground for your tyres to find :)
For the real stubborn nails one can use a Reciprocating saw if you have one or a hack saw. Wedge the blade between the two planks and cut. Remove end of the nails with a punch and hammer.
Thank you so much for sharing this method! Great way to get more usable wood AND nails to reuse with a lot less mess and waste! I’m using a little longer 2x4 for the tapper, (it’s easier on my back.) And thanks for sharing your faith!
You just saved the rest of my fingers from the way I tried to do it. I don't have a small mallet so I used my big one just to see the difference and it works so much better than a block of wood and a hammer.
if you have nails that are rusted and "bonded" to the wood, it helps a great deal to cut them short(er) and hammer them through after. all in all a good video. thanks
This looked so easy, I was so hopeful!! Just tried it and the wood didn’t budge. May work if you are a he-man but if you’re a girl with no muscle tone in her arms it’s not gonna do anything.
Ivd tried this method before with the same results as most others methods. Split and broken boards. The only pallets thag Ive broken down that come apart easily, are the ones Ive used that come from Canada, no joke. No spiral or glued nails.
I've seen some pretty stupid crap in these videos. I've done some pretty stupid things trying to get these things apart. This was a great common sense video. I've made a lot of stuff just cutting the pallets in sections. A set of drawers was definitely the best.
Appreciate the testimony at the end, Dan. Also wish I'd watched this before I bought a pallet buster. Ha! Question - is there anything I need to do with moldy pallets or will planing them take care of the issue?
A quick turn on a grinder and those nails can get enough point to drive in easily. Bl like to hit two sides so it comes out like a cut nail rather than a point.

i think this is lke the 10th pallet disassembly video I've watched, and the only one that I actually have all the tools for lol. Thanks man!

same here!
nevermind popping from the top - just pop it down!
Holy crap why didn't I think of this before. The answer is so easy! I was about to take a saw to my pallets.

I've watched several videos giving tips on pulling nails and disassembling pallets, and this is the only one that is practical and effective. Thanks.

yup - i got one and it super works!! if you're taking pallets apart often, it's a must
I have watched about 10 videos on this subject, this is the easiest method, and it is also well explained. Thanks!
Can't believe it, so many video showing the same way to remove it and YOU, the most simple and effective unique way, tkx !!!
I’ll definitely use your method. Thanks for the encouraging verse
Great video, definitely going to try this. Thank you for the scripture, it's important to remember God each day 🙏❤️

After mixing w/ vinegar, what then? You just "paint" rusty vinegar on the wood as a water-based stain or are there other steps?
Best way I've seen to dismantle a pallet. But the last section is my favorite!!!! Stay blessed, Brother!!
Great video. You made it look so easy. God bless you brother.
NEVER thought to do it this way! Thanks!
Simple system. I wouldn't have started that way, so you saved me some effort. Appreciated your testimony also.
Liked and Subbed. This is the easiest method I’ve seen so far. Thank you for the content

It took me a day to disassemble a pallet, with 9 more to go. Thank you for sharing, I can do this!
Neat to see someone else come up with the same manner I did a few years ago.
You earned my subscription with this video. Now I'm going to go use your method. Thanks.
Awesome ending to a great video! Thank you for shining the light brother!
Well done! Keep the faith!!!
Dan, Thank you for sharing your faith!
This is the best method when you dont have anything but only a hammer. I love it works just fine
Thanks! very helpful for a beginner like me. Keep up the good work. God is with His servant. GOD BLESS!
This is going to help me take apart 22 pallets tomorrow! Thank you!
Awesome ending message. Thumbs up on the tips as well, I havebroken many of pallets out of rushing/frustration and impatience
Be patient and build something!

Thats so easy from the way I done it great vid
Because of the Bible quote I hit the subscribe button. Thank you brother.
This is great! It's gonna make building those planters I have planned a breeze! thanks!
A floor jack works wonders also 😊
You just saved the rest of my fingers from the way I tried to do it. I don't have a small mallet so I used my big one just to see the difference and it works so much better than a block of wood and a hammer.
Dan, with your gorgeous beard, you look like an Ossetian! Thanks for the biblical quote.And for the educational video.
God bless you !!!
Helpful vid Dan , cheers 👍.
Thanks and God bless brother 😁

Clicked on it for the title subscribed because your profession of faith in Jesus Christ, keep it up!
Thanks for the sub!
I appreciate the scripture at the end of the video. Wasn't expecting that, bro.
Ditto
Did Jesus break pallets?
@@PipkinDog5 He was a carpenter right?
This looked so easy, I was so hopeful!! Just tried it and the wood didn’t budge. May work if you are a he-man but if you’re a girl with no muscle tone in her arms it’s not gonna do anything.

Thank you brother, well done video, I learned a lot and a better way to do it! God bless!
I like your table made from pallets - is there a video on that? Many thanks for this video.

Damn bro - simple and effective!!
If you get a longer 2x4 to strike the pallet with, you won't have to bend down
I like to work as fast as you. 😂
Thanks bro.verry useful your Service
Appreciate the testimony at the end, Dan. Also wish I'd watched this before I bought a pallet buster. Ha!
Question - is there anything I need to do with moldy pallets or will planing them take care of the issue?
Great way to get the boards off but can I suggest you use an Airlibcker to denail
One of the best videos for dismantling pallets. Thanks for mentioning the tools which were helpful and the surprise verses .👍
.
.
Nice Video, Always best to wear the Gloves even when denailing as your likely to get a Splinter sooner or later..
It is the best way to do it good Job
Thanks, God bless you
thank you for you new idea.
A quick turn on a grinder and those nails can get enough point to drive in easily. Bl like to hit two sides so it comes out like a cut nail rather than a point.
What a great job thanks 🎉
Thanks for the tips and verse... I subscribed bro
Who else loves the sped up hammering sound! Tick tick tick tick!
